Rescuing a ball python from a chain store?

[StillBP]

Where do you think petsmart buys their ball pythons from?

even if they are buying local from breeders they are buying the castoffs that the breeder cant sell for more money his/herself so most snakes at a box pet store will not have the quality that you can find from a reputable breeder
I know this as I sell all my normals to a local pet store. I give him a great price on them and he can put a good price on them for his customers them. I dont have to worry about what to do with the 20 normals I hatched out. And I know where he gets his morph snakes from which is local breeders that sell him stock that they cant move because it is lesser quality. Now I am not saying this is always the case but it happens alot. As a breeder why would you sell a snake to a box store for say $50 when you can sell it via morph market or kingsnake for more if it was a nice animal? You wouldnt
and as eric said to be fair there are sometimes nice animals in box stores, wile I can not rebute this I still would not buy from one
